Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

The next morning, Zhang Jingwei went to the military camp to pick up the person, but was stopped at the gate of the garrison camp. His ears were frozen red. Mu Tou pushed the two guards, and Qian Ming also argued with them.

A guard stood in front of the door with a nervous look on his face, and advised Zhang Jingwei, "Sir, please don't go in any further. This puts us on duty in a dilemma!"

Zhang Jingwei looked anxious, his eyes wide open as he shouted, "I need to see my father-in-law. Get out of my way!"

The guard showed no sign of backing down, still standing firmly in his place, and responded, "The general is currently discussing important military matters with the other generals. No one is allowed to disturb them!"

Zhang Jingwei snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and said arrogantly, "You guys think you can stop me?"

Seeing this, the guard's face became even uglier, but he still suppressed his anger and warned: "Sir, if you insist on forcing your way in, I will have no choice but to sound the alarm. By then, I'm afraid even you won't be able to handle this!"

At this moment, Qian Ming hurried forward, grabbed Zhang Jingwei's sleeve, and whispered, "Young Master, if you really ring the bell, it will definitely attract a large number of troops. We can't afford to anger the Marquis because of this! In my opinion, it would be better for us to return home today and visit him when he is free."

However, Zhang Jingwei remained unmoved. He shouted anxiously, "No! Dahai is still detained in there. If I can't get him out safely today, how will I face my brothers in the future?"

At this moment, Mu Tou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward, patted his chest and said to Zhang Jingwei, "Master, I will break down this door later. You just need to rush in and look for them. Leave the rest to me. I will do my best to hold them back!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Ming was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly waved his hand to stop them, saying, "Absolutely not! This is too risky. What if the young master gets hurt in the chaos? What will happen then?"

Just as the two sides were deadlocked and the atmosphere was growing tense, the crisp sound of horse hooves echoed. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Beta, riding a steed, approaching with heroic grace. He approached, reined in the reins, and looked down at the guards. His face was stern and he said, "Let them in!"

One of the guards looked embarrassed and quickly saluted, saying, "Captain Qi, the Marquis has personally instructed that no one be allowed in! We are only following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us."

The corners of Beta's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and then he said loudly: "General Gao has ordered that Young Master Zhang be invited into the camp for tea!"

Hearing this, the guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do. One of them hesitated and said, "What...what should we do?"

Beta snorted coldly, his eyes sweeping across the guards with a sharp gaze. He said in a deep voice, "If the Marquis asks, just put the blame on General Gao! Don't you even trust General Gao?"

Seeing this, the guards, though still somewhat uneasy, dared not say anything more. The leading guard gritted his teeth and bowed, saying, "Since that's the case, then we'll do as Captain Qi says. I'll obey your orders!" With that, he waved to the other guards to open the door and make way, respectfully welcoming Young Master Zhang into the camp.

Zhang Jingwei had just arrived at the camp and hadn't even found his footing when he bowed to Beta with a broad smile on his face, saying, "Brother Beta, please convey my gratitude to Brother Gao!"

Beta smiled slightly and responded, "Brother Zhang, you're too polite. We have to rush back to Jinzhou today. We come here just to stay in the garrison." It turned out that according to convention, all generals from other cities must go to the garrison camp to register and arrange for their stay after entering the city; and when they leave, they also need to cancel their registration here to prevent leftover food and accommodation and waste.

Hearing this, Zhang Jingwei couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and asked hurriedly: "Are you leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you stay a few more days?"

Beta shook his head and explained, "Master Gao is really busy with military affairs and can't delay. But yesterday we did take some time to visit the residential areas built by the military camp. My master praised you highly!"

Zhang Jingwei smiled and quickly asked, "Oh, by the way! Do you know where my subordinate Liang Dahai is being held?"

Beta was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Haha, what are you talking about, Master Zhang? How can there be any detention? Liang Dahai is now the Marquis's guest of honor! He lives in a separate military quarters and is well treated! Even when I sleep at night, I can only squeeze into the same room with my master!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jingwei finally felt relieved and hurriedly clasped his fists in thanks, saying, "That's great. Thank you, Brother Beta, for telling me. I will definitely treat you to a hotpot someday to express my gratitude!" After that, he rode his donkey and ran towards the military quarters.

……

These barracks are composed of crisscrossing rooms, with a row of rooms having seven or eight compartments. These barracks are provided for officers. The higher the officer's rank, the better the living conditions.

Liang Dahai lived in the best military dormitory, a particularly large one with two bedrooms and a living room. This was where Huangfu Changshui lived when he was a garrison general. The surrounding officers were very envious. They would knock on the door every now and then, come in to sit for a while, and brag and chat with Liang Dahai. As a result, he couldn't sleep all night last night and was constantly harassed by these neighbors.

At this time, the knock on the door rang again.

Liang Dahai was awakened by a knock on the door. He combed his hair, got into bed, and said weakly, "General, didn't you have morning training this morning? The door is not locked, so just come in. You can visit or have some tea. I'm really sleepy."

"The sea."

Liang Dahai heard the familiar voice and opened his eyes suddenly. Seeing that it was indeed Zhang Jingwei, his face showed joy at first, but then it quickly calmed down. He quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Master, congratulations on your wedding!"

Zhang Jingwei looked at Liang Dahai with a guilty look on his face and said sincerely: "Dahai, it's really my fault this time. I was too busy those days. Things happened one after another, making me dizzy, so I forgot about you for a while." As he spoke, he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

Liang Dahai quickly bowed and responded humbly: "Master, you are too polite. I am just a servant in your house. Master is busy with all kinds of affairs, so it is normal that he doesn't remember me." Although he said this, there was a hint of imperceptible loss in his eyes.

Zhang Jingwei stepped forward, patted Liang Dahai on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: "Oh, let's not talk about this! I came to see you today specifically because I wanted to make amends. Come on, I'll take you to the best restaurant in the city and we'll have a big meal!"

Liang Dahai waved his hands repeatedly and declined, "Master, you are too polite. You really don't have to make it up to me like this. Master is a noble person, and I am just an insignificant servant. If you have any instructions, just say it, and I will do my best to carry it out."

At this time, Mu Tou, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore. He glared at Liang Dahai and shouted, "What's wrong with you? The young master came to pick you up with good intentions and wanted to treat you to a good meal, but you're just being sarcastic! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you're just blaming the young master for not inviting you to his wedding!"

Zhang Jingwei's face darkened and he shouted, "Wood, shut up!"

Liang Dahai hurriedly explained: "Master, don't be angry. Brother Mu has misunderstood. Master, you came specially to pick me up. I am grateful to you so much. How dare I blame you?" Although he said this, his expression was still unhappy.
